Chapter 920: The Battle of Nantou (2)
Time passed little by little, in the dark night, the time that kept passing, this was a kind of torment for anyone, the long-tested Northwest Army was fine, and the newly joined Wufeng Army was more or less commotion, but fortunately, they successfully entered the county seat and stole the city gate, this kind of experience that they had never had before, so that they would not say it even if they had other ideas.
Hum, there was a vibration from the radio receiver behind him, this is a portable machine, it can't transmit too much information, but it can be contacted within 5 kilometers, and it can be used to transmit some, agreed wireless information, instead of ordinary signals, Liu Ye opened it and looked at it, he was very excited, it was successful This is good news, the special forces have taken down the arsenal.
The progress of the special forces along the way is very smooth, the arsenal is in the county seat, the center of the protection of the entire brigade, perhaps because the opponents are all rabble, the arsenal that should have been heavily guarded and heavily protected, there is only one and a half squads to protect, this one and a half squads, which can be regarded as the elite of the Sakamoto brigade, are also conscientious, the number is too small, and they are not the opponents of the special forces of war weapons at all, from entering to the end, it took only 11 minutes, plus the time on the road and infiltration, from 12 o'clock to attack, The combination of taking the city gate and taking the arsenal was only about 30 minutes.
All of them were cold weapons, and they killed more than 90 Japanese soldiers on duty one by one, without alarming anyone, and after sending the agreed signal, next, in addition to a few necessary protections, the special forces personnel entered the arsenal and simply counted the arsenal. By the way, clean up and see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net.
After Liu Ye received the signal, he did not delay. A follow-up platoon of more than 50 people was directly dispatched, and along the road opened by the special forces, they occupied the arsenal as quickly as possible.
This is the most critical thing in the plan, the arsenal is the most closely defended place in the entire Nantou County, as long as it is taken against this point, it will become the most important thing for their Wufeng Army. Next, no matter what the battle looks like, for the Fog Peak Army. The outcome is already sealed.
The protection of the arsenal was the most powerful place, with fixed fortifications, and two newly built bunkers, under the foundations of the original two Maxims. A couple more light machine guns were added. In an open area with an unobstructed view, it is airtight.
When the soldiers of the Wufeng Army took over here, the special combat team members were finally freed, and the fixed defense, the special combat team members can also do it, which is tantamount to reducing their ability, you know, the special combat team members must be in sports warfare. Or hide in the shadows to be able to play the maximum. It is also a good effect, and asymmetric strikes in a complex situation are the real role of special forces.
The signal came again, the arsenal was taken safely, a platoon had been stationed in it, it was impossible to lose it, Liu Ye whispered to a few of his subordinates next to him: "Start the military operation, according to the A-word plan, everyone is free to attack!" ”
The order was issued, which represented the beginning of the overall attack on Nantou County, and the killing in silence became a dynamic and powerful killing.
Liu Ye sent people before, after investigating the situation in the entire Nantou county, he formulated three plans, the most perfect is Plan A, after quietly entering Nantou County, after basically controlling the arsenal, you can let go of your hands and feet to attack, which can ensure the maximum effect, your own casualties will be controlled to a relatively small extent, choose Nantou to attack, on the one hand, it is to establish a prestige for the Wufeng uprising, but if the losses are huge, it will outweigh the losses, in a relatively short period of time, I am afraid that the Northwest Army active in Taiwan, There are only 300 of them.
Liu Ye must be careful in his calculations, of course, in the overall consideration, Plan A is the best, and the follow-up Plan B, or even Plan C, is obtained comprehensively after considering various problems, which is much more difficult, and even Plan C will give up Nantou County, give up the arsenal, and implement the plan of retreat to a certain extent, in order to ensure that the loss is not unbearable.
Now, everything is going very well, the arsenal and a large number of Japanese soldiers have been taken out, and then, it is time for the free attack. The remaining platoons, blooming on all sides, launched a surprise attack on the Japanese troops in the county, and they were already asleep, only a third of them were less than the Japanese army, and they never thought that there would be such a fierce attack, and most of the Japanese soldiers were in their sleep, and they went to see their Amaterasu, and very few could react.
Even if there is an occasional counterattack, the attack in the northwest is blocked, but it is only delayed for a moment, the circumference is only 5 miles of a small town, the strength of the special forces can be reached in minutes, and the special night vision sniper rifles, even if they are a few hundred meters away, can also support this side, these tough resistances were killed by the elusive magic guns of the special forces.
However, there are too many armed forces in the county, with more than 1,100 defenders, 300 second-line troops, and more than 1,000 armed police and expatriates, and no more than 700 personnel in the northwest, and 200 outside, some guarding the arsenal and the east gate, and no more than 300 can really shoot.
Even if the strength is very strong, it is impossible to clean up so many armed personnel in a short time, and this point, when formulating the plan, this is also taken into account, killing if you can, and squeezing as much as possible if you can't kill, so that they can retreat to the barracks.
The barracks are also the most heavily defended places of the Japanese army in addition to the arsenal, in addition to the particularly strong outer walls, there are dozens of sturdy rooms, the special forces have cleaned it up, but it is impossible to kill them all, plus the deliberate squeezing and pushing, the stragglers scattered in the city behind them, slowly gathered towards the barracks. Fifty minutes after the battle began, at about 1:10 a.m., there were almost 1,200 armed men, and even more than 500 regular soldiers, who relied on the solidity of the barracks to build a battle line and gradually stabilize their positions.
I thought that they would be subjected to a crazy impact, losing most of the armed personnel, and after the entire county was occupied by the other party, these Japanese officers and soldiers were ready for all the jade shattering, but before the jade shattering, they hoped that the defense in front of them and the guns in their hands would give them the last dignity, drag the other party into the water, even if they died, they also needed to find a cushion.
I have to say that the Japanese army in World War I is terrible, the later World War II period, the US military occupies all the advantages of the sea, but in the face of Iwo Jima, it still paid a heavy price, alone, only relying on its own Japan, suffered from the attack of more than 60,000 people in 3 divisions of the US army, the original plan of 5 days of fighting lasted for 36 days, more than 20 square kilometers of small islands, more than 22,000 Japanese soldiers died, and the casualties of the US army reached more than 28,000 people, In the end, only more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers survived, and it can be said that they bit the United States hard at the cost of all the jade pieces.
Liu Ye didn't know how terrible the Japanese were in isolation, Yang Yuanzhao knew very well that in the teaching of the Northwest Military Academy, the most important thing was to avoid the battle of the trapped beasts, not to put yourself and the trapped beasts on an equal footing, and not to consider the principle of knighthood, for the northwest, what is needed is always victory.
It is this point that this principle is almost engraved in the hearts of the officers of the Northwest, when formulating the most perfect plan A, the direction of attack seems to be chaotic, for the barracks, except for the beginning, let the special forces clean up, after solving the enemy to the greatest extent, it has always been hidden and not attacked, leaving a way for the Japanese army, and the strong barracks, which is where they are safe for a short time, is also the grave where they are buried.
Soichiro Sakamoto, this only 38-year-old officer of the Young Zhuang faction, with the rank of Nakasa, is considered a character, he was sleeping today, he encountered a sudden attack, and when he ran out, he found that his command had been ended, and all the jade including the deputy captain on duty was broken, he didn't dare to rush up, but just gathered his troops and gradually retreated to the barracks.
After the battle line had been stabilized a little and a dense defense had been arranged in the barracks, he had time to think about the current situation, what had happened, who the other side was, and why the county seat of a county in the hinterland of Taiwan, completely inland, would be attacked by the regular army.
Sakamoto was born in a professional class, born in Lu Shi, was promoted by orthodox officer education and army promotion methods, and even participated in the Russo-Japanese War, after being transferred to Taiwan, he saw a lot of Taiwan's resistance, and it seemed to be huge, but when he encountered the regular army, he fell apart like a chicken, this is the gap between strength and realm, not to mention the same number, even if it is three, five, or even 10 times, he is confident to defeat the other party.
This time it was different, the raid was very sudden, and the Sakamoto brigade was also hit hard, but then, even if they reacted, picked up arms, and even formed the squads of the battle camp, they were all broken, this is not ordinary at all, the level of the Taiwanese rebel army that just picked up the weapon, and even in a sense, only the Guards Division and a few strong divisions on the ground can have such strength.
In Sakamoto's heart, there were countless thoughts circling, but soon, they were suppressed, and now the situation is very dangerous, holding this barracks, there is still a glimmer of hope, in case they can't hold it, waiting for their fate, it is death.
Desperation fired these people, hundreds of policemen and armed men were on the outside, acting as cannon fodder, and the rest were concentrated in the core, the entire barracks, everything that could be dismantled, was disassembled, and they waited for the other side to attack.
But this attack did not come for a long time, but it was the gunfire outside, which became louder and louder, Sakamoto's face turned a little blue, isn't the other party's target them, is it ready to grab and leave, is it possible, hundreds of armed forces are placed here, and the other party can still guarantee to control the situation?
